Слайд 2Introduction
Travelling is the type of relaxing for me. Every modern person
will be happy to have a rest near the sea or sightseeing.
I'm not a kind of a person who travels a lot. But I can understand the culture of other countries reading novels and fairy-tales.
Слайд 3Purpose of statement:
The purpose of the study is to explainhow literature
can help us to understand the culture, traditions and customs of other countries.
Object of research- reading as a kind of travelling
Subject of research - the British and Russian novels and fairy tales.
Research methods: observation, comparison and analysis.
Research questions:
The research questions in the study are presented as follows:
How can we travel reading Russian and Britain books?
What are the similarities and differences between two cultures?
Слайд 4First of all, I MUST tell you about blockbuster like Eat,
Pray, Love: One Woman's Search for Everything Across Italy, India and Indonesia, by American author Elizabeth Gilbert.
It is a memoir about her emotional breakdown and subsequent healing process.
She needed help and found it only on another continent, in another country.
She found HERSELF there!
I literally felt her impressions, felt her emotions.
Слайд 5“On the Road”, a novel by American writer Jack Kerouac, based
on the travels of Kerouac and his friends across America.
The travels of Dean Moriarty and Sal Paradise are a celebration of two of the country’s greatest inventions: jazz and the roaring, big-engined automobile.
This story is really moved me to the USA, I saw its culture, its people and I was astonished because of all of this!
Слайд 6Bill Bryson “I'm a Stranger Here Myself: Notes on Returning to
America after Twenty Years Away”.
After living in Britain for two decades, Bill Bryson has recently moved back to the United States with his English wife and four children.
It is a book filled with historical scenes of one man's attempt to reacquaint himself with his own country, but it is also an extended if at times bemused love letter to the homeland he has returned to after twenty years away.
Слайд 7Our country is large and mighty too!
If I hear ‘Russian
writer' I always think about our legendary writer called Alexander Pushkin.
I hope everyone knows about his exile in Mikhailovskoe.
Even there he made amazing works! Anyway, we can see large difference between his works, which he made at home, and works, made in Mikhailovskoe.
We could feel all his emotions after leaving his own city and home!
Слайд 8Studying English, I could not pay special attention to the
Слайд 10“Tom Thumb” is one of my favorite tales of England.
Tom Thumb
can hardly be called a positive character, I am impressed by his optimism, cheerfulness and sense of humor.
Слайд 11From literary tales I really liked " The Wind in the
Willows" by Kenneth Graham.
Its characters — a delicate Rat, an inquisitive Mole, Badger and a wise frivolous frog — Toad lead profound and, at the same time, amusing discourse on life, solve current problems and get into the incredible adventure to follow which is a real pleasure.
When I'm bored or sad, I read a couple of pages and relax the soul in a carefree world of childhood.
Слайд 12Folk tales carry the history, knowledge, believes, and morals of a
people for centuries before their societies develop literature.
Слайд 14We would like to compare Russian tale “Masha and three bears”,
and Britain tale “Goldilocks and three bears”.
Слайд 15We made a survey and asked 20 pupils.
1.Do you like reading
tales?
2.Which tale do you like “Goldilocks and three bears” or “Masha and three bears”?
3. What character do you prefer: Masha and her bears; Goldilocks and her bear?
